I decided I needed a table by my bath tub to hold soaps, wash cloths and flowers. Yes I know it’s a luxury item, but I thought ‘why not?’ This table came from an antique store, but it was not very expensive. It feels so special to have this little table in my bath. I […]

This is the third in a series on country French design. Today we are talking about vintage French items. I love vintage and I love French, so vintage French is like Doublemint gum for me. It’s a two-fer. Now the thing about my vintage French things is that they aren’t all actually French. […]
